Superabsorbent wound dressing with silicone wound contact layer

A wound dressing (10, 30) comprising a backing layer (11, 31), an absorbent pad (12, 32) and a wound contact layer (13, 33), wherein the backing layer (11, 31) comprises a water vapour-permeable and liquid impermeable film material, wherein the absorbent pad (12, 32) comprises an absorbent core (15, 35) having a proximal side and a distal side, and an envelope (14, 34) surrounding the absorbent core (15, 35), the absorbent core (15, 35) comprising an absorbent material, and wherein the wound contact layer (13, 33) is a perforated sheet material which is fully coated by a layer of a skin-friendly silicone adhesive (13b, 33b), and wherein the envelope (14, 34) comprises a first layer (14a, 34a) of a first liquid-permeable non-woven material and a second layer (14b, 34b) of a second material different from the first liquid-permeable non-woven material, wherein the first layer (14a, 34a) of the envelope (14, 34) covers the proximal side of the absorbent core (15, 35) and wherein the second layer (14b, 34b) of the envelope (14, 34) covers the distal side of the absorbent core (15, 35), wherein the first layer (14a, 34a) of the envelope (14, 34) extends over the proximal side of the absorbent core (15, 35) and the second layer (14b, 34b) of the envelope (14, 34) extends over the distal side of the absorbent core (15, 35) each of them forming a first border area (16, 36) surrounding the absorbent core (15, 35), the first (14a, 34a) and second layer (14b, 34b) of the envelope (14, 34) being joined to each other along the first border area (16, 36) surrounding the absorbent core (15, 35), and

• wherein at least one of the first layer (14a, 34a) and the second layer (14b, 34b) comprises a green color and,
• wherein the absorbent core (15) further comprises a diffusion layer present between the first layer (14a, 34a) and the proximal side of the absorbent core (15, 35);
• wherein the wound contact layer (13, 33) with the layer of a skin-friendly silicone adhesive (13b, 33b) covers an entire proximal side of the first layer (14a, 34a) for application on a wound of a patient;
• and
• wherein the backing layer (11, 31) extends over the second layer (14b, 34b) to form a second border area (17, 37) extending beyond and surrounding the first border area (16, 36) of the first layer (14a, 34a) and the second layer (14b, 34b);
• wherein the wound contact layer (13) is coextensive with the backing layer (11), and wherein the second border area (17) comprises an adhesive border area.
